:Chamber sits in the quiet bar alone. He had sent Wierzbowski off and would meet up with him later, but he just needed time to himself. He takes a sip of his soup and closes his eyes:
Why always war?

Because that's the way it has been, and always will be. It's the way humans solve things.
::Rainii's voice slips into his mind, and as Chamber begins to wonder where it came from, she enters the bar fully. She grins broadly as she sees him, and rushes over to slide into the booth, to sit across from him.::
"Well! It's been quite awhile, hasn't it? The last I saw of you was..."
::Her brain flashes back to Vector, with Chamber bloodied and beaten, and barely alive. Concern flashes across her face.::
"How are you? Are you alright? I know it's kind of late to ask that, but...At least I can ask you. I thought...for awhile I did...that you had died...and that I hadn't gotten word of it,but..."
::She looks up from the table, to Chamber's face.::
"I'm glad I was wrong."

:Chamber looks up surprised and smiles widely:
Shes in my head now too? And now shes even listening to this....tsh...wheres the privacy??
:He looks across at her and gazes into her eyes:
"Yea....suffice it to say I was alright...alright enough to warrant a month of nothing but being in a bed. Anyhow I'm somewhat better now, the wounds still have there reverberations."
:He pauses:
"Rainii.....why did you come here? Cause.."
:He looks down:
"I'm sorry about what happened in Vector....its just that..."
:He trails off, unable to find the words he wants to say:

::Rainii waves off his apology.::
"No, no...Nothing to be sorry for."
::She leans back against the seat, making herself more comfortable.::
"As to why I came here, well...Partly it's just me wandering, exploring, if you will, but..."
::She rests her head in her hands and looks up at him.::
"I guess the more I think about it, I realize that, for whatever reason, I was kind of hoping I'd run into you."

:A rush that has never came over him overwhelms him. His hands shake and he studders more:
"W-why? I mean? Why me?"
:He smiles:
"I umm actually was hoping to get to see you as well....out of battle for once."

"I guess it's good we've met up then!"
::She happens to notice he seems a bit nervous, and she tries her best not to make him even more so. She pauses before continuing on.::
"I guess I wanted to see you to see if you were alright...and because I find you interesting, and I like your company."
::She grins, mischeviously.::
"But why did you want to find me?"

"Well...ummm..."
:He flags down a passing by waitress and orders a couple drinks:
"Well...what I said in Vector may have been true, as well as my actions..."
:His eyes gaze down towards the table, half expecting the same results he received then:
"I...I'm not good at this, this isn't my thing..."
:The drinks come in what seems to him in forever. He takes a drink and waits:

"I don't understand why you have to be so nervous."
::She takes one of the drinks Chamber ordered, and takes a sip.::
"I didn't think I seemed mean or anything...Confused, yes, but not rude."
::She smiles at him again, in hopes to reassure him.::
"If it helps, I didn't mind what happened in Vector."

:He smiles and seems more relaxed:
"Well...its not that I'm nervous about you being upset so much as simply nervous to...yah know..."
:He takes a drink and clears his throat:
"Rainii Loire..."
:He pauses as if to rethink saying what hes recited over and over in his head:
"...you're the most beautiful and amazing woman I've ever met...I just wondered if you'd ever give me a chance. I know I'm not a hero or flashy or anything you may be accustomed to....but I'm a good guy."
:He smiles as if to say he is finally happy to get it out:
(OOC- SOrry for any lapses in posting, it will prolly be once/day while I go on break tomorrow but I won't forget. Since posting has been going slow s**t on the other things I was thinking of starting a mini story w/ these two if you'd like and perhaps get Airlia in it in a bit..)

::Rainii smiles broadly. She's never had anyone even come close to asking her out--they all seemed afraid to. Except for Chamber, who'd she'd been hoping would do something since what happened in Vector. She places her hand over one of his, and pauses just a moment before beginning to speak.::
"I don't need flashy, and sometimes heroes are more concerned with themselves than anything else...All I need is someone good...And I'd be lying if I said I hadn't hoped that person would be you."
::She pauses again, briefly.::
"But I have to say, I'm no treat either...I run a whole country, and sometimes I feel the need to up and go, and just wander. Often times, I manage to get myself in far more dangerous situations that anyone should be in, and I have a nasty habit of nearly getting myself killed...But, if you can handle all that...I'm more than willing to give you a chance, as long as you're willing to take it."
(OOC--It's alright, my posting has been kinda slow lately, too. I really would like to do a mini story w/ them, and include Airlia, too. Heck, i've been wanting these two to get together since Vector!)

:He grins and seems more confident:
"Of course I can....I would love to!!"
:He pauses and glances around a bit:
"If you wanna get out of here we can, got any ideas where to go to relax?"
(OOC- Awesome, I couldn't tell thats why I've been hesitant!)

:That voice...the one she hadn't heard since Vector....it returns:
[glow=red,2,300]Ahh my dear...why are you wasting your time on someone so fragile as this one?[/glow]
:The voice chuckles:
[glow=red,2,300]Its been awhile Rainii, I'm sorry I left you so long. I hope you didn't miss me too much.[/glow]

Well...I didn't think you'd come back. And don't be so mean about Chamber. I like him.
::She pauses for a moment, thinking of where her and Chamber should go.::
"I want to go someplace different, someplace...Oh! Balamb. Let's go there, it's nice. You've never been, right?"
Wait, are you just here to judge my love life? Because that's the last thing I need right now.

:Chamber nods:
"Sounds good, I haven't been there....haven't traveled nearly as much as any of you guys I suspect."
:He grins and wipes his mouth before standing up and tossing down some money for the food and drinks:
"Shall we?"
:He pauses:
"You don't by chance have means of transportation to get there do you?"

[glow=red,2,300]Not your love life my dear, only bad decisions...[/glow]
:Theres a soft chuckling:
[glow=red,2,300]What do you plan on doing anyways Rainii? What would Crohan and Infinity think of this?[/glow]

"Of course I do--How do you think I got here?"
We--we are NOT talking about them! They're dead and gone, so I don't think they much care what I'm doing down here.
But.
...
They probably wouldn't like it. But then again, if they were still here, able to care about what I was doing--I wouldn't actually be in this tiny, quiet bar, with Chamber,would I?
::She leaves the rest of the thought unspoken, though anyone who knew her would pick up on it--Had things not happened the way they had, she would probably be with Crohan. But she refuses to think about that. That was over and done, and there was nothing she could do to change it. Even if she wanted to, and she really, really wanted to.::
I can't keep waiting--I have to move on, keep going, because...If I don't I could spend the rest of my life stuck in memories, refusing to face life as it is now. So my plan is to keep doing what I'm doing. Dating Chamber is part of that plan, even if you're convinced that it's a terrible idea--
So yeah. I answered your questions, now you answer mine--Why are you back?It's not going to be good for me, is it?

:Chamber escorts her out of the bar:
"Ahh, so I assume airship? Or other means?"
:He smiles, more confident and satisfied in himself. Chamber still notices she is still in thought about something else but brushes it off:

[glow=red,2,300]Oh my dear...you still mustn't forget those who have fallen. They did look out for you know.[/glow]
:Cackling:
[glow=red,2,300]Besides...I agree it may be time for you to....move on.....seeings how I have been watching you for quite sometime. I can see the appeal in someone more weak to make you feel stronger.[/glow]
:The voice seems to be taunting her more than anything this time:
[glow=red,2,300]Is it bad that I'm back? Didn't you miss me?[/glow]

"Airship this time. It's my preferred mode of transportation!"
::She leads Chamber over to the place she'd left the Airship, all the while holding a seperate conversation in her head.::
I can tell you've gotten so much more pleasant since last we talked. How wonderful. And there was so much to miss about you--those terrible riddles, your snide comments, the way you tease me,ah...It feels like christmas has come early this year! I'm absolutely thrilled.
::Her and Chamber board the airship, and she immediately goes to the controls. She turns to look back at Chamber, who is just standing there::
"Make yourself at home!"
